Jack Is Good For Ivey
Level 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Philip Sternheimer raised under the gun and Phil Ivey called in the big blind.
Ivey drew two and Sternheimer one. Sternheimer then bet and Ivey called.
Both players took the same amount of cards on the second draw and Sternheimer bet again. Ivey called once more and drew one, while Sternheimer stood pat.
Both players checked and Sternheimer showed a jack-eight. Ivey, though, had Jx6x5x3x2x to win the pot.
